Biodiversity is declining globally, and ecological research is key to monitor and counteract this decline. Such research requires the taxonomic identification of organisms by both professional and citizen scientists. A complete overview of resources for taxonomic identification is therefore crucial but missing, also posing problems for analysis into gaps in the taxonomic coverage of available identification resources.

Chloride-based solid electrolytes are considered interesting candidates for catholytes in all-solid-state batteries due to their high electrochemical stability, which allows the use of high-voltage cathodes without protective coatings. Aliovalent Zr(iv) substitution is a widely applicable strategy to increase the ionic conductivity of LiM(iii)Cl solid electrolytes. In this study, we investigate how Zr(iv) substitution affects the structure and ion conduction in Li In Zr Cl (0 ≤ ≤ 0.

We describe six datasets that contain GPS and accelerometer data of 202 Eurasian oystercatchers () spanning the period 2008-2021. Birds were equipped with GPS trackers in breeding and wintering areas in the Netherlands and Belgium. We used GPS trackers from the University of Amsterdam Bird Tracking System (UvA-BiTS) for several study purposes, including the study of space use during the breeding season, habitat use and foraging behaviour in the winter season, and impacts of human disturbance.

Background: Although emerging adults play a role in the spread of COVID-19, they are less likely to develop severe symptoms after infection. Emerging adults' relatively high use of social media as a source of information raises concerns regarding COVID-19-related behavioral compliance (ie, physical distancing) in this age group.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate physical distancing among emerging adults in comparison with adults and examine the role of using social media for COVID-19 news and information in this regard.

Article Synopsis
  • People in different countries leave home at different ages for various reasons.
  • Researchers looked at cultural, economic, and institutional factors to explain these differences using data from 22 European countries.
  • They discovered that all three factors together help explain most (80%) of why young people leave home, with culture being the most important reason.

Given , there exists such that, if , then for any graph on vertices of maximum degree in which the neighbourhood of every vertex in spans at most edges, (i)an independent set of drawn uniformly at random has at least vertices in expectation, and(ii)the fractional chromatic number of is at most . These bounds cannot in general be improved by more than a factor 2 asymptotically. One may view these as stronger versions of results of Ajtai, Komlós and Szemerédi and Shearer.

This study investigated whether cross-linguistic differences affect semantic prediction. We assessed this by looking at two languages, Dutch and Turkish, that differ in word order and thus vary in how words come together to create sentence meaning. In an eye-tracking task, Dutch and Turkish four-year-olds (N = 40), five-year-olds (N = 58), and adults (N = 40) were presented with a visual display containing two familiar objects (e.

Objectives: A wealth of studies provide evidence for action simulation during language comprehension. Recent research suggests such action simulations might be sensitive to fine-grained information, such as speed. Here, we present a crucial test for action simulation of speed in language by assessing speed comprehension in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD).

PREVIOUS RESEARCH REVEALED AN AUTOMATIC BEHAVIORAL BIAS IN HIGH SOCIALLY ANXIOUS INDIVIDUALS (HSAS): although their explicit evaluations of smiling faces are positive, they show automatic avoidance of these faces. This is reflected by faster pushing than pulling of smiling faces in an Approach-Avoidance Task (AAT; Heuer et al., 2007).

Recent years have seen a large amount of empirical studies related to "embodied cognition." While interesting and valuable, there is something dissatisfying with the current state of affairs in this research domain. Hypotheses tend to be underspecified, testing in general terms for embodied versus disembodied processing.

The embodied view of language comprehension proposes that the meaning of words is grounded in perception and action rather than represented in abstract amodal symbols. Support for embodied theories of language processing comes from behavioral studies showing that understanding a sentence about an action can modulate congruent and incongruent physical responses, suggesting motor involvement during comprehension of sentences referring to bodily movement. Additionally, several neuroimaging studies have provided evidence that comprehending single words denoting manipulable objects elicits specific responses in the neural motor system.
